Comment: The above QPQ review consists of two articles: Muhammad Farhan (Indonesian politician) and Indy Barends. Therefore, for the purposes of QPQ counting, I have done 2 QPQs.{{pb}}For ALT2, I suggest :File:MODULIGHTOR - Duplex Apartment.jpg as an image.

16px 5x expansion according to DYK check. I'm confused about the QPQ situation so I've asked at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Clarification on QPQs. Image is marked as own work, so it is fine assuming that the uploader told the truth there. There is freedom of panorama for buildings in the US. Reviewing ALT0: Hook is interesting and matches source and article. I wonder if the hook could make it a bit more obvious that it was an estimation. I didn't realise it wasn't one until I read the source. ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

: 16px Ok someone has clarified that the QPQ is fine. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:44, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
